The Super Rugby season is fast approaching its exciting conclusion, as we search for the next champion.
In the running this season are teams like the Blues, the Hurricanes, and the Brumbies, all of whom have their sights set on the ultimate glory.
But who has the trophy spent the most time with, and has an Australian team ever won it?
Has an Australian team ever won Super Rugby?
It has been a long while since the Super Rugby title was held by an Australian team, with teams from across the ditch winning eight of the last nine competitions - 2020 having no winner due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The last Australian-based team to win the competition were the NSW Waratahs, who claimed the title in 2014, during the Super Rugby era.
Since then, the title has remained across the ditch; the Highlanders, Hurricanes, and Blues all winning one, while the Crusaders have dominated with five.
